I found a spider in my car. While driving. I couldn't get it out, it fell into the backseat and I cannot find the spider now.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to set the car on fire.

Dunno. I really like my rover.

Drove the Giulia this morning and enjoyed it. Rode really well, handled well, and is comfy. It's definitely geared more towards driving than cruising, the different drive modes are noticeable for sure. In manual mode it won't change gears, so you will bounce off the rev limiter if you don't do it right.
Sales mgr is going to call me when they get one in with the tan interior with the sport seats, he thinks sometime in late March or so. They've got 32 cars incoming, but only a couple have the tan, so we'll see.

He's also going to let me drive the quadrifogglio when they get another in, but it would have to be really special to justify the price increase over the Ti, it's damn near double.

Well, I'm now a member of Team Scoobie. Dealership gave me a smokin' deal and Anthony helped out with an ambassador coupon -- came out to almost the same as I was paying for the Accord.

I LOVE IT

It's so nice to be back in a car that was built to perform. Excited to have the AWD, and the extra doors on the back are going to make life with the dog a lot easier.

Sorry, Pete.

Sent my final payment on the car today. I've no idea how long it will take for me to actually get the title, but it should be headed this way soon.

March 2017. No car payment.
